Every great resort now builds a short course, and the reason is simple: it's the most fun-per-minute in golf. Rounds take 90 minutes, pressure is low, and each hole is one good swing plus a putt. For improvement, nothing beats it — a par-3 round is 18 reps of the scoring game.
Find one nearby in the directory — the par and GPS yardage are listed for every course.
